BJP blamed its political opponents of playing dirty politics after Delhi BJP’s senior leader Vijay Kumar Goel and Ashok Goel, BJP candidate from the same constituency, along with their supporters were allegedly attacked by supporters from other parties, here in Model Town area on Monday.
According to the BJP leaders, the incident took place at Gur Mandi, Rajpura. During campaigning, one Dinesh Kumar and Kehar Singh, along with some other persons abused, threatened and then physically attacked BJP workers with hockey sticks and iron rods. They also damaged the two vehicles, in which Vijay Goel and Ashok Goel had arrived to the area. The miscreants also attacked the driver of one of these vehicles, who was injured in the incident.
Ashok Goel said in his complaint that these miscreants should be immediately removed from the area and appropriate action should be taken against the culprits to ensure free and fair polls. Two similar incidents were also reported from Badli and Karawal Nagar constituencies, where BJP supporters were allegedly beaten by their opponents.
‘The BJP had already informed the Election Commission about the sensitivity of certain polling booths in this constituency and despite that this attack has happened. This kind of violence is condemnable and it will not deter the BJP in any way,’ Goel said.
In addition to a complaint filed to the Election Commission regarding the attack, the party has also demanded that an FIR should be immediately registered. In the complaint filed with the Election Commission, Ashok Goel has informed that the attack took place this afternoon between 11:30 to 12: 30 pm.
